Abstract
The polymer-polymer interaction parameter, x 23t, of the styrene-butadiene polymer (SBR) and ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM) was investigated by observing the phase behavior of the ternary system of SBR/EPDM/solvent. The solvent used in this study was benzene acting as a good solvent for SBR but as a poor solvent for EPDM. Ternary solutions with various concentrations and mixing ratios of the two component polymers were separated into two phases by temperature change The cloud point curves (CPC) showed that the differerence of solvent affinities toward each polymer and the repulsive interaction between two polymers considerably affect the shape of CPC near 15℃. In the temperature range of 5℃ ~ 25℃, incompatible behaviours arised from both the difference of mixing ratios and concentration were clearly observed. Also the phase separation temperature greatly influenced on the composition of each separated phase. The calculated x 23t values from Flory-Huggins theory were in the range of 0.6301 ~ 1.0775, which suggest that the SBR/EPDM systems are incompatible.
서로 다른 고분자 혼합물의 조성 및 농도에서 온도 변화에 따른 상 분리 거동을 관찰하였다. 용매는 EPDM에 poor solvent로, SBR에는 good solvent로 작용하는 벤젠을 사용하였다. Cloud point curves(CPC)에서 각 고분자 시료에 대한 용매의 친화력과 상호 반발력 차이 때문에 15 ℃를 전후하여 CPC에 큰 변화가 있었다. 5℃ ~ 25℃ 영역에서 고분자 혼합물 조성비와 농도에 따라 비상용성이 나타났으며, 분리된 각 상의 조성은 상분리 온도에 크게 의존되어 있음을 확인하였다. EPDM과 SBR의 상호작용 파라메타는 0.6301 ~ 1.0775의 범위로 이 두 고분자 물질은 상용성이 없는 것으로 결론지었다.
